Submission of Proposals - Internal Deadline

UT Dallas faculty:

As you may know, recent changes to Grants.gov and other federal electronic submission systems have limited the ability of applicants to change or correct proposals after the submission deadline. In addition, these systems may take up to 24 hours to generate automated alerts of application errors. If the error message is received after the submission deadline, applicants cannot make corrections and the application will be automatically rejected. Over the past few months, several late proposals nearly missed the agency deadline or were hastily submitted with numerous serious errors resulting in their return or rejection.

The Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) strives to provide our faculty with responsive, high quality service. In order to maintain the high level of service you have come to expect and address the issues outlined above, all submissions will be subject to the following requirements:

ALL submission materials and paperwork must be submitted to OSP at least 4 business days prior to the submission deadline.
Incomplete submissions and/or submissions received after this deadline will be processed only after all complete and timely applications have been processed.
All submission materials received after the 4 day window will require the approval of the Vice President for Research or the Associate Vice President for Research before OSP will submit the application. An explanation of the extenuating circumstances that resulted in the late proposal must accompany the request for such approval.

Adherence to this policy will ensure OSP and your individual specialist can assist you in submitting timely and high quality applications. If you have any questions about this policy or any other matters related to sponsored programs, please do not hesitate to contact me at rafael.martin@utdallas.edu or Rachell Reilly, Director at rachell.reilly@utdallas.edu .

Regards,

Rafael Martín

Associate Vice President for Research
